Ack, since the Ohio River runs into the Mississippi River, downstream of that confluence there must be a LOT of toxic effluence.

The same people who think teachers and their unions are so terrible would like to entrust their children's early experiences with faith to them? How can they be sure the teachers won't twist the prayers around to encourage their evil liberal agendas? Or worse yet, what if one of those teachers starts reading the Sermon on the Mount and some kid finds out that her divorced parents are fornicators? Or that God loves those lazy-ass poor people? All hell could break loose if you let teachers near your children's religious education.

They don't think about that. Bringing religion into school is about indoctrinating other people's children, not theirs.

I'm OK with a short time of silence for those who want to pray, or those who want to meditate, or just have some quiet time for thoughts.

And there's no law in this country that prevents that. Kids can pray in school all day long if they like.
